 426. S. melcena, Wlk. 



Sikhim, 5,000 feet. Occurs in August. The male has seven yellow 

 bands on the abdomen, and the female only six buff ones. 

 429a. S. compta, Wlk. (Plate I, Fig. 24.) 



Bhutan, 1,500 feet. I described this species under the name of 

 S. ceratina, but Sir George Hampson writes that he has examined 

 the type of »S. compta, Wlk., in the Exeter Museum and finds that 

 my specimen is referable to it. Differs from S. fervida, Wlk., in 

 the abdominal bands being complete and broad, the terminal segment 

 indigo blue and rather thicker than the otliers. Forewing yellowish 

 hyaline with a dark yellow band along the costa and another sub- 

 marginal to the inner margin ; veins 5 and 6 joined by a black 

 band between them. Hindwiiig with the inner margin dark 

 yellow. Legs with the femora yellow, tibia blue-black, and the 

 first joint of the tarsi white. This seems intermediate between 

 S. fervida Viwdi S. newara, neither of which I have seen. Exp.3'6 

 millimetres.
